Tomcat not starting using startup.bat
Tomcat 5.0.28, Windows XP
System global environment variables set:
JAVA_HOME = c:/j2sdk1.4.2_04
CATALINA_HOME = C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Tomcat 5.0
Installed using jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28.exe default install options
(Installs to program files)
it's not possible to start from command line using startup.bat;
c:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.0\bin>startup.bat
Using CATALINA_BASE: C:/Program Files/Apache Software
Foundation/Tomcat 5.0
Using CATALINA_HOME: C:/Program Files/Apache Software
Foundation/Tomcat 5.0
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: C:/Program Files/Apache Software
Foundation/Tomcat 5.0\temp
Using JAVA_HOME: c:/j2sdk1.4.2_04
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Files/Apache
Of course obvious step is to install tomcat in simple path like
c:\tomcat, but I need to have it working on any installation path.
And I need to use startup.bat, not service launcher.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Because of your Path and Operating System you will have to use the Directory
shortcut method.
I know that XP support spaces in path names from the command prompt but Java
doesn't realy.
Change Program Files to Progra~1
Change Apache Software to Apache~1

This should work. I had a similar problem in '97 when I first started
developing in Java. :)
